NBA Players and Their Idols

NBA Players and Their Idols
Hi, my name is Timur. I'm professional 3d modeling artist. I make videos with Unity 3d and Blender software.
Here are the main steps how I create a video:
First of all I come up with a topic. Then I collect the necessary information from statistical sites, forums, discussions in various communities (All sources can be found below). Then I start assembling the scene. When the scene is ready, with the help of a neural network, I create unique cantileveres and make a preview. After this I'm looking for music on youtube creative studio or fair use sites. Finally I do video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

Figures and facts at the time of creating video and watching it - may be strikingly different. Everything is purely individual. Don't forget about this.

James Harden's Idol is the one who blocked the shot of his Jumper to save the game in the Playoffs 😭

[@williamg7138]

It's not his idol lmao. This video is BS

[@JRD987]

So inspiring that Jimmy’s idol growing up was his dad!

[@RyanMolinary-yi1sq]

Mj is not his dad

[@RyanMolinary-yi1sq]

It’s a theory

[@andrewschipper-oh4xz]

Mj is not jimmy dad

[@melaniealford1074]

Lololol

[@TheWizardGuy17]

@@snakegamerlegend2010 How do you know that he is? like shut ur goofy ass up

[@playerone3885]

Surprising amount of Manus and I expected more MJ’s.

[@jermainerodgers]

Manu ginobli. Underated legend

[@KingSausage74]

Kobe the MVP of this.

[@toddhanley6982]

BRO, Jordan's idol was David Thompson - he has said SEVERAL times that he modeled his game on him (which you can see, but he took some Doc too) and is the player that he (M.J.) chose to have inducting him into the Hall

[@allenwood3805]

Exactly, a UNC player idolizing a NC State player

[@johelectrix7927]

yes but MJ also said he also liked Walter Davis and Thompson

[@kineahora8736]

Yes, David Thompson is the one I heard about- not so much Walter Davis

[@dreday1062000]

Mj said his idol was Dr J.

[@scarecrow3303]

Its cool how their favorite player was usually the same position as them

[@steezymchorwood]

Giannis and ai was a bit of an oddball - he is still a legendary player tho

[@Virtualcritic111]

yeah they see themselves in those players

[@lukamagicgod]

Most of this are not their first idol. It became their idol when they play the same position when they are younger or have the same playstyle

[@scarecrow3303]

harden's idol became manu after he blocked his game winner@@lukamagicgod

[@Bluebirdfalling]

wow.

[@avishaisol8040]

I was so happy with this video before the last person popped up. Trae Young has said on multiple occasions that Steve Nash was his favourite player growing up

[@calypsojordana3274]

"I saw him sitting at the edge of the pitch and I went over to him. He told me he was a big fan of my game, and of course the feeling was mutual. It was a really nice moment, he didn't know that I watched all his videos when I was younger. My dad told him everything, he's got a bit of a sharp tongue." Trae on Tony Parker

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817]

Trae has flip flopped a lot on the subject, I’ve heard him also throw Curry’s name out there, you can definitely have multiple role models though.

[@OthnielAdopo99]

Kobe is the idol of many NBA players 😮😮😮

[@user-hj1et5bj4x]

My idol is also KOBE

[@ilyasshingis6496]

Kobe’s idol is MJ. Mj was idol’s idols

[@OthnielAdopo99]

@@ilyasshingis6496 Mj was a fan of Dr J, Dr J was a fan of wilt, wilt of Mikan so...

[@sauntreth4398]

​@@ilyasshingis6496 Kobe is better mj

[@iaimen865]

Giannis having AI as his favorite player is cool and weird at the same Time. Also its Nice to see some guys like players like manu or Rodman and other guys that are not MJ Kobe or bron.

[@giancappelli7155]

Michael Jordan's idol has always been David Thompson, always

[@Jett000006]

how many teardrops did you shed writing this comment lol

[@flavioliliana7163]

Era o Magic Johnson, o MJ tinha até escrito na placa do carro "Magic Mike"

[@aurelienchiorino684]

No, Julius

[@Salva46]

And Dr. J

[@TheJapeKing]

Embid's idol is Mamba... He mentioned it multiple times that he is not only his idol but the whole reason why he started to play basketball Luka's idol is Spanoulis... LeBron just his favourite NBA player as a kid...

[@jackp7886]

Also, Shaq said a lot of times that Dr.J was his favourite player.

[@luisgr1173]

Yeah and also kobes idol is magic Kobe learned from mj but his idol was magic

[@luisgr1173]

This creator's source is his opinion

[@auc2.0]

@@luisgr1173😂 Yeah no.

[@HappyKarl095]

I love these kind of videos. It shows my favorite NBA players and who there favorite idols were when they grew up.

[@damianobellorio29]

My Idol: Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant

[@Chef_Edits]

Same

[@EpicMalick]

My idol: LeBron and Anthony Davis

[@notgeorgegervin]

AD got to play alongside his idol and it’s funny that for the LeBron ones, they’ve probably played him.

[@jayrfranceliso8921]

The craftiness on the court that's how Manu influence Harden and Shai!!

[@rorydougherty]

Cool video, definitely appreciate the time and effort you put into the content. With that said, there were a couple of inaccuracies in there. No big deal.

[@jesusvaldivia7001]

The idol of Shaq is Patrick Ewing

[@Shoqtheropy334]

That's what I thought too

[@johnj.doublej8721]

…nice video. Love the concept! 👍🏻

[@AntonioABC]

Antetokoumpo is the only one whose idol had a completely different position than his.

[@flavioliliana7163]

Na verdade o ídolo do Giannis é o Hakeem Olajuwon

[@greg9473]

pg as well

[@lvgxnd-1632]

Isaiah Thomas, Wiggins, Dirk, Lebron, and Zion all main different positions than their idols.. not just Giannis

[@dr.penguin9412]

@@lvgxnd-1632Giannis and AI are like complete opposites though

[@vincedgarvlogs]

Lebron too, MJ has different position.

[@nickm2294]

Joel Embiid’s idol was Kobe Bryant. He started playing basketball because of him.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

Joel always stated that Hakeem was his influence. Go watch some Kansas joel highlights. He modeled his whole game after Hakeem.

[@kamilmusalat]

Yeah there is a lot of crap made up in this video I’m pretty sure I remember dirk saying puppet was his idol not Larry! Westbrook said he didn’t even watch basketball when he was young especially not magic

[@Gazz.z]

Luka and Zion Idol wasn't LeBron. Luka's Idol was Valssilis Spanoulis that's why he wear no. 7. While Zion said he grew up watching magic, bird and jordan and his Idol was Magic and not LeBron.

[@theinktician]

I need this comment to be pinned

[@VonAndrade]

His video is more like player style comparison more than player's idol.

[@JonnyLin7]

Luka has said publicly Lebron was his favorite player growing up. Players can also have multiple idols. Lebron named both Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson as his idols growing up. I know Wiggins also idolized Kobe Bryant to some extent.

[@Gazz.z]

@@JonnyLin7 Yeah.. He said that when he first came into the league. Dirk is also one of his fav players too. But when he talked about V. spanoulis as an idol, it's different. That's the guy who inspired him the most not LeBron.

[@epictubegamer]

@@Gazz.zluka has said multiple times his fav player is lebron . 😂

[@24Tatum_Highlights]

Most of the players idols have similiar playstyles and strengths

[@securityandsafetyworldwide6287]

Lebron is a living legend and still playing

[@jonblankenship5908]

That's the definition of the modern 🐐

[@Gurenn83]

Living legend I agree. GOAT hell no!

[@pemo01]

Damn I thought for a second you used a skinny Lavar Ball picture for Kareem 😂😂 0:56

[@Bingeflow1]

[@funnybanglatv117]

What software do you use to make these videos?

[@courtdunge468]

[@Cans3]

My idol is Wilt Chamberlain

[@jamesonmonta6079]

Bro harden got blocked in a clutch moment by his idol 💀

[@fszron]

I knew T-Mac had a case to be one of the best ever, this video is proof.

[@rickrick5682]

Ja Morant aspires to be a shooter when growing up. And his idol was Agent 0 Gibert Arenas.

[@grumpycat1457]

Ben Simmons idol was Magic Johnson? no wonder why he loves passing than scoring lmao

[@colorrookie5539]

Pascals said his favorite player was Kevin Durant, and he admired his game . Rodman tho idk ?

Damian Lillard is on record saying his idol was Allen Iverson

[@user-ve3gc4tp6p]

これいいな〜！

[@Ali-yp3nb]

Timmy didn't probably have an idol he just grew up and chose basketball insted of swimming

[@TheIcemanthomas]

He didn’t choose basketball instead of swimming. I’ve read that a hurricane ruined his community pool when he was a kid or something like that. And his family steered him towards basketball as a replacement

[@jordzbuenafe6239]

Luka Doncic's favorite player is Spanoulis. That is why he wore #77 The same as AD who idolizes Mj since he is from Chicago and grew up watching Mj. Does wearing 23 in NOP.

[@Chef_Edits]

Joel embiid idol is timmy that's why he wears the jersey

So when Bron played with Lonzo and AD he was their leader andddd their idol, damn. Ppl can hate all they want but he won a championship with AD so he lead effectively

[@gringobronx7670]

I know this is wrong because shaqs idol was Patrick Ewing not kareem

[@PNL_King]

Judging by his actions during the playoff bubble, Lou Williams idol is Hugh Hefner... Or the founder of Popeyes.

[@MarkWestbrook-kq9wr]

Steph Curry surprised me I thought his dad would've been his idol but jimmy Butlers dad is his idol

[@PolishBehemoth]

[@appleandobiadventures747]

Marcus Smart is my idol!

[@Bingeflow1]

Really excited to see what the grizzlies will do this year, the defense is great, I should make a quiz about them

[@Addi.B.B.]

Manu is pretty influential. Nothing against him, just a surprise.

[@Yaboiahmd]

Yeah he's very underrated. People idolise him because he's from argentina which is a good thing

[@brutchadeltoro1456]

Harden and SGA we have the same Idol. #20

[@citrustaco]

How does Aaron Gordon's 50 represent California? 1850? What I heard was that he changed it to 50 after the dunk contest representing the 50 he should have earned. Before the 50, he was wearing 00.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Wasn't Shaq's favorite player Patrick Ewing? Hence the reason why he wore 33 in college.

[@andrefdsouza]

When i was a kid i used to play NBA JAM on SNES console. I normally play with Seattle Supersonics and my fav player was "Detlef Schrempf". He was slow, but good in defense and steal. My teammate was Shawn Kemp or Gary Payton. Good times.

[@user-vw1vf5cw7d]

Tim Duncan's Idol is Brad Daugherty

[@BunnyXXA31]

I thought it was Patrick Ewing for Shaq he said it that’s the reason he wears 33 in high school and college

[@FearsomeVoid]

I think that Jordan's idol was Dr. J, and Luka's idol is Vassilis Spanoulis.

[@becbro]

Actually, Lukas idol was kobe

2:06 when you're in the league but your key highlight is that you have dual citizenship then maybe it's time to find a different league.

[@l9ikjam]

I remember luka saying kd

[@vm6756]

I see now where did Giannis picked those handles from 😂

[@Theodoros.K.Mouchtaris]

Luka Doncic's idol is most probably Vassilis Spanoulis. An uknown to you player. Search it. His jersey number is 77. Spanoulis' was 7. When Luka came to NBA number 7 wasn't available, so he took 77. Double 7.

[@at920]

Magic, MJ, Kobe, and Lebron are many players’ favorites.

[@andrejohnson7737]

Jordan Idol was David Thompson!
